Jones. Easily potshot the shit out of Haye for twelve rounds.

I don't get all these threads about "who would win between a prime RJJ and ...."
For me, a Prime RJJ would have beaten anyone. On his day, Roy is the best I've ever seen.
I think possibly the RJJ who beat ruiz would beat every heavyweight out there today except maybe vitali?
RJJ did beat a terrible heavyweight champ in ruiz- one of the worst of all time but then so did haye in his titlefight vs valuev.
The only reason RJJ dropped backdown in weight after winning title was cos there was no way he would of stepped in the ring with lennox lewis so it was pointless him staying at that weight.
RJJ makes him look stupid and wins every round imo

Haye has had the advantage in every one of his fights of being the faster guy. After being beaten to the punch by a faster Jones, Haye would start to mug, try to shrug it off and then wing a lot of heavy leather and use a weight advantage. A few rounds and Haye goes into a shell like a lot of Roy's other opponents. Haye telegraphs his shots too. Its not that Roy would have been too fast for Haye.... but that he would have been faster and too smart. Haye wouldn't have been a guy that Roy had to keep in the middle of the ring....Haye would be there voluntarily. If Monte Barrett could catch Haye... Roy would have cut him to pieces.

They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
Roy Jones, Jr. "What I've Learned," Esquire 2003
Haye smashed to bits an ancient semi-retired version of a never particularly good Ruiz. It was a little bit like Calzaghe beating up on an ancient Roy Jones Jr. Ruiz was a shot fighter, but unlike Jones was never particularly good to begin with.
Haye hasn't won a meaningful fight at HW IMO, I really think Holyfield beat Valuev far more impressively than Haye did.
Right, so using your logic Roy has never fought a decent heavyweight either, so considering he's a 5'10, natural lightheavyweight who is totally unproven at heavyweight, it's stretching it a bit to think he could deal with a 6'3, naturally 30lbs heavier KO artist.
I mean if Lou DelValle can floor Roy then imagine what happens if Haye hits him. Frightening. Roy will be unconcious from a semi-clip. It's just logical. Fact.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
The heavyweight version of Roy Jones would not be able to beat Haye. I know people think Haye is a waste of space, but he would beat Roy. Haye is a more natural heavyweight and would eventually catch Roy.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
